Major political parties agreed to sort out the differences on the disputed issues to be adopted in the new constitution by Sunday.
A meeting of UCPN (Maoist), Nepali Congress (NC), CPN-UML, and Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha (SLMM) in presence of Constituent Assembly Chairman Subash Chandra Nembang and Constitutional Committee (CC) Chairman Nilambar Acharya on Saturday agreed to forge consensus on the disputed issues of the new constitution.
Emerging from the meet, Maoist Chairman Puspa Kamal Dahal said, “We will sit for talks later on today and forge a consensus during the meet.” Dahal informed that Sunday’s meeting of the CC will sort out all the disputed issues. NC leader Ram Chandra Poudel blamed Maoist of dilly-daying the statute drafting process and said that it would be much easier if they [Maoist] become responsible towards the same. UML leader Madhav Kumar Nepal said that his party would like to resolve the issues rather than putting them for voting on the CA. “It is not the solution to the problem,” he said.
In accordance with the CA’s revised calendar, CC should settle all outstanding issues, other than the state restructuring, by January 29. According to the current calendar, the CA should vote on contentious issues to prepare the first statute draft on the basis of majority vote if they fail to arrive on an agreement.
